On June 9, 2011, we received an instruction document*, "Installment of
treatment facility and storing facility of water including highly
concentrated radioactive materials at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power
Station (Instruction)" from Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) of
Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
(Previously announced on June 9, 2011)
Based on the instruction, we have been treating the accumulated water
containing highly concentrated radioactive materials in the Centralized
Radiation Waste Treatment Facility. We would like to announce that we have
summarized the latest situation of storing and treatment of accumulated
water containing highly concentrated radioactive materials, and reported it
to NISA today.

- Situation of storing and treatment of accumulated water including highly
concentrated radioactive materials at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power
Station (26th Release)(PDF 62.1KB) * Installment of treatment facility and storing facility of water
including highly concentrated radioactive materials at Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear Power Station (Instruction) (NISA No. 6, June 8, 2011)
We have provided a Japanese press release version of the instruction
document received from NISA. However, at this time we have reserved the
right to not provide an English version due to potential misunderstandings
that may arise from an inaccurate rendering of the original Japanese text.
We may provide the English translation that NISA releases in our press
releases. However, in principle we would advise you to visit the NISA
website for timely and accurate information.
Situation of storing and treatment of the contaminated water in the Power
Station and future forecast based upon the current situation have to be
reported to NISA as soon as the treatment facility starts its operation.
Also, subsequently, continued report has to be submitted to NISA once in a
week until the treatment of the accumulated water in the Centralized
Radiation Waste Treatment Facility is completed.
